| Asian Star London showcases Padma Shri Balwant Thakur | | |  Early Times Report
London, Aug 5: Asian Star Radio, London, brought a rare treat to its listeners today with an exclusive feature on the celebrated theatre personality Padma Shri Balwant Thakur. Aired during primetime across London and Birmingham, the special program delved deep into Thakur’s vibrant creative journey, offering listeners an inspiring glimpse into the life and legacy of one of India’s foremost cultural ambassadors. Hosted by the dynamic and engaging anchor Payal, the hour long show turned into a masterclass in theatre, culture, and international collaboration. Touching upon a wide range of subjects from cross-cultural storytelling to the global future of Indian theatre, the broadcast proved to be both informative and enriching for a diverse audience. Currently on a creative mission in the UK, Balwant Thakur spoke passionately about his ongoing tour and the series of events he is undertaking to expand the global footprint of Natrang, his Jammu-based theatre organization. Highlighting his recent visit to Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, Thakur shared his profound experience of engaging with resident actors who performed excerpts from Romeo and Juliet especially for him. Inspired by the experience, he revealed his ambitious plan to develop a new cross-cultural theatre production based on the folk tale Kunju Chanchlo from the Jammu region. Drawing parallels with Shakespearean themes of love and tragedy, Thakur envisions this production as a powerful Indo-English narrative that will resonate with audiences across both cultures. |
